2 Chronicles 15
1 Now, as for Azariah son of Oded, there came upon him, the spirit of God.
Então veiu o Espirito de Deus sobre Azarias, filho d'Obed.
2 So he went forth to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin, —Yahweh, is with you, so long as ye are with him, and, if ye seek him, he will be found of you, but, if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
E saiu ao encontro d'Asa, e disse-lhe: Ouvi-me, Asa, e todo o Judah e Benjamin: O Senhor está comvosco, emquanto vós estaes com elle, e, se o buscardes, o achareis; porém, se o deixardes, vos deixará.
3 Now, many days, had Israel been, —without the faithful God, and without a teaching priest, and without the law;
E Israel esteve por muitos dias sem o verdadeiro Deus, e sem sacerdote que o ensinasse, e sem lei.
4 But they turned, in their distress, unto Yahweh God of Israel, —and sought him, and he was found of them.
Mas quando na sua angustia se convertiam ao Senhor, Deus d'Israel, e o buscavam, o achavam.
5 And, in those times, there had been no prosperity, to him that went out nor to him that came in, —for, great consternations, were upon all the inhabitants of the lands;
E n'aquelles tempos não havia paz, nem para o que sahia, nem para o que entrava, mas muitas perturbações sobre todos os habitantes d'aquellas terras.
6 and they were beaten in pieces-nation against nation, and city against city, —for, God, discomfited them with all manner of distress.
Porque gente contra gente, e cidade contra cidade se despedaçavam; porque Deus os perturbara com toda a angustia.
7 Ye, therefore, be strong, and let not your hands be slack, —for there is a reward for your work!
Mas esforçae-vos, e não desfaleçam as vossas mãos; porque a vossa obra tem uma recompensa.
8 And, when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he strengthened himself, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured out of the hill country of Ephraim, —and renewed the altar of Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh.
Ouvindo pois Asa estas palavras, e a prophecia do propheta, filho d'Obed, esforçou-se, e tirou as abominações de toda a terra de Judah e de Benjamin, como tambem das cidades que tomára nas montanhas d'Ephraim: e renovou o altar do Senhor, que estava diante do portico do Senhor.
9 And he gathered together all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them, out of Ephraim and out of Manasseh, and out of Simeon, —for they fell unto him out of Israel, in great numbers, because they saw that, Yahweh his God, was with him.
E ajuntou a todo o Judah, e Benjamin, e com elles os estrangeiros d'Ephraim e Manasseh, e de Simeão; porque d'Israel descahiam a elle em grande numero, vendo que o Senhor seu Deus era com elle.
10 So they gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem, in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
E ajuntaram-se em Jerusalem no terceiro mez; no anno decimo do reinado d'Asa.
11 And they sacrificed unto Yahweh, on that day, out of the spoil they had brought in, —oxen, seven hundred, and sheep, seven thousand.
E no mesmo dia offereceram em sacrificio ao Senhor, do despojo que trouxeram, seiscentos bois e seis mil ovelhas.
12 And they entered into a covenant, to seek Yahweh, God of their fathers, —with all their heart, and with all their soul;
E entraram no concerto de buscarem o Senhor, Deus de seus paes, com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma;
13 and, whosoever would not seek unto Yahweh God of Israel, should be put to death, —whether small or great, whether man or woman.
E de que todo aquelle que não buscasse ao Senhor, Deus d'Israel, morresse; desde o menor até ao maior, e desde o homem até á mulher.
14 So they bound themselves by oath unto Yahweh, with a loud voice, and with shouting, —and with trumpets and with horns.
E juraram ao Senhor, em alta voz, com jubilo e com trombetas e buzinas.
15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for, with all their heart, had they sworn, and, with all their good will, had they sought him, and he was found of them, —and Yahweh gave them rest round about.
E todo o Judah se alegrou d'este juramento; porque com todo o seu coração juraram, e com toda a sua vontade o buscaram, e o acharam: e o Senhor lhes deu repouso em redor.
16 Moreover also, as touching Maacah mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made, unto the Sacred Stem, a monstrous thing, —so Asa cut down her monstrous thing, and reduced it to dust, and burnt it up, in the Kidron ravine.
E tambem a Maaca, mãe do rei Asa, elle a depoz, para que não fosse mais rainha; porquanto fizera a Aserá um horrivel idolo; e Asa destruiu o seu horrivel idolo, e o despedaçou, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedron.
17 But, the high places, were not taken away out of Israel, —only, the heart of Asa, was perfect, all his days.
Os altos porém não se tiraram d'Israel; comtudo o coração d'Asa foi perfeito todos os seus dias.
18 And he brought the hallowed things of his father and his own hallowed things, into the house of God, —silver and gold, and utensils.
E trouxe as coisas que tinha consagrado seu pae, e as coisas que mesmo tinha consagrado á casa de Deus: prata, e oiro, e vasos.
19 And, war, was there none, —until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
E não houve guerra até ao anno trigesimo quinto do reino d'Asa.
